The Land of Beloved!!!

Chapter 48

Bihaan knocked on the door and waited for Thapki's answer. After hearing "Yes" he walked into the room.

Thapki was wearing a beautiful Red and golden Sari with her hair styled in half bun and half curls. The smokey makeup on her eyes and the red lipstick on her lips was making her face even more seductive. He walked towards her without taking his eyes off her. Which ever perfume she was wearing was adding up to her sexiness.

While Bihaan was engrossed in Thapki's beauty, Thapki was herself praising the masculinity of her husband. The black tux he was wearing was making him look like a hero from a fairy tale. He looked so perfect..... With no flaws. She felt lucky to be this man's wife. But the thought that she was not gud enough for him made her a lil sad.

The sadness in Thapki's eyes was instantly noticed by Bihaan. He knew she was upset abt the last night. He wish he could explain and end all the misunderstanding but he needed courage to tell her wat he had not told to anyone. In his mind, Thapki would not love him after knowing the truth and he did not have the courage to face her like that. Little he knew that his insecurities were make Thapki more and more insecure each passing second. Thapki herself did not have the courage to ask him abt his actions as she feared that he will say sthg that might kill her hope.... hope for having her own world of love and happiness with him.

The two were looking at each other without saying a word and still sharing their pain through their eyes. But not everything gets communicated through eyes, some emotions are to be backed with words. Their silent conversation was broken by a knock on the door. It was Preeti asking them to come out as the engagement ceremony was abt to start any second. This broke the trance and Thapki left the room without even saying anything.

While Thapki was leaving the room, Bihaan looked at her back. The backless blouse with the doris made him realise that it as the same sari that he had gifted her few weeks back.

-------------------------------------------------------

The Pandeys, Singhanias and Sheena's family were gathered at a big farm house for the engagement ceremony. They had arrived this morning as the engagement was in the evening. After engagement, a big masquerade party was planned leading to celebrations of two grand engagements. Theme for today was Saris for the ladies and black suits for the gents. So the engagement hall was full of ladies of all ages dressed up in beautiful saris whereas all men were dressed up in black suits.

Thapki walked and stood where Suman was standing. Suman looked at her and praised her instantly. She teased her abt how Bihaan will go crazy abt her which gave her very mixed feelings as she did not know if this will have any impact on him as he had not said even a single word on how beautiful she looked. With that she realised that he also looked so beautiful and charming and she also did not praise him. After last night, she had not spoken to him much so she did not know on how to start a normal conversation with him.

A group of young ladies came and stood next to them. Thapki had no idea who they were. The list of guests was so long as the invitees were from three different families.

Both Kiran and Sheena made their entry together. Both were looking extremely beautiful. Kiran had this blush on her face which was adding to her beauty. Both went and stood next to their to be fiances for the rings exchange ceremony. Thapki said a silent prayer for both the brides. She was happy for both Kiran and Sheena alike. Sheena had not been nice to her but she was starting her new life and Thapki wanted it to be a success for Sheena's sake and for her sake too.

The rings were exchanged and everyone clapped and congratulated the newly engaged couples. The clapping died and ppl started chatting. Thapki was abt to move to congratulate the new couples when she heard the ladies standing next to them discussing Sheena and Bihaan and how they would have made a better couple. Thapki looked at Sheena and noticed how she was staring at Bihaan.
